See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 181 I Didn’t Cheat on You

Claudia didn’t expect that, even though things had come to this point, he still planned to take her away.

There are so many people outside. If I were to be carried out like this, I would immediately make headlines in the

news.

Since it has already been like this, why not just go along with someone’s contrary opinion for now?

She held onto Edmond’s arm and whispered, “You can put me down first.”

Her voice was gentle, like the pure flowing water passing through her heart, and Edmond’s eyes deepened.

Claudia quickly took the opportunity to break free and stood up.

In response to his deep gaze, Claudia touched her belly and whispered, “The child is indeed yours.”

“But we had already divorced, and the child had nothing to do with you anymore.”

The word “divorce” deeply pierced Edmond’s eardrums.

Countless nights, he also consoled himself with the idea of divorce, but the more he thought about it, the more

clear–headed he became. Later, he tried to get closer, but she repeatedly pushed him away, until now, when she

admitted with her own mouth that she was carrying his child.

Edmond suppressed his sadness and anger deep down in his heart, and

stared at her intently, saying, “We got divorced, but we can still remarry.”

Upon hearing these words, Claudia’s heart dropped and then started pounding incessantly.

The thing she feared and worried about the most had finally happened.

“I couldn’t accept a man who had cheated.”

but

When she married Edmond initially, he was at least a clean man, now he has been tainted by the scent of other

women, and she has a germophobia.

“I didn’t cheat.” His dark pupils resembled the abyss of the night, veiled by a faint mist. “Rosalie was just my

responsibility.”

Claudia lowered her gaze and smiled bitterly, her eyes filled with a relieved understanding.

“She was your responsibility, so you had to protect her, even if it meant harming grandma…”

Her voice carried a faint bitterness, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

“She is your responsibility, but am I not your wife? Don’t you have any responsibility toward me, Edmond? I will

never forget how you protected her after Grandma’s death. No matter what your reasons were, the moment you

stood by her side, you became my enemy.”

“Do you remember what I said before?” Claudia looked at him firmly. “I said that if I got pregnant with your child, I

would have an abortion.”

Edmond’s heart “thudded” in his chest, his fingers clenched into a tight fist, and his face uncontrollably turned pale.

He glanced at her abdomen and his breath suddenly caught.

Did she want to have an abortion?!

Edmond’s pupils suddenly contracted, his hands trembled slightly, and fine sweat appeared on his palms.

As soon as he thought about her having an abortion, his heart felt like it was being tightly squeezed, making it hard

for him to breathe.

“I forbid it!” his voice was tense and hoarse.

This was the result of their union, even if it was just an accident, it was enough to make him happy.

He was a person with few relatives, but even in an accident, he wanted to keep this little life.

He didn’t want to hurt the child, nor did he want to hurt her.

She detested him so much that she definitely did not want to give birth to this child.

“You can do whatever you want,” he paused, his eyes turning red. “You may not forgive me, but please don’t hurt

an innocent life.”

His voice carried a plea of compassion.

He was wrong!

He regretted it!

He thought that being more ruthless could cut off his black hair, and he thought that being more ruthless, she could

be happier with the other person outside.

He was wrong. He underestimated his feelings for her and

underestimated her determination for revenge.

I didn’t expect that she was pregnant, and she even wanted to terminate this innocent little life.

Claudia lowered her eyelashes, covering her pitch–black pupils, while a sarcastic smile curled up at the corner of

her lips.

She never expected that the man who used to be high and mighty, proud and arrogant, would bow down and beg

her.

Thinking about the past, Claudia’s eyes welled up with tears.

Actually, a long time ago, Edmond was also good to her. At that time, she had just graduated and had not been

interning at the Lamont Group for long when she was bullied by her colleagues. It was him who stepped forward

and scolded those people, and he even · encouraged her.

During college, he was also one of her sponsors. She was standing destitute in the crowd, and he casually

mentioned that he would support her. Over the course of four years in college, she managed to complete her

education with the support of the Lamont family.

After marriage, he was very polite to her. Although they had a secret marriage, he never lacked anything for her.

Just after graduation, she became the most well–off person in the entire class.

She was both touched and grateful.

She lifted her eyelids and forcefully suppressed the wavering tenderness in her heart.

The end of a three–year marriage signifies the end of the relationship between the two individuals.

“Claudia!”

Horace’s abrupt voice interrupted their thoughts.

He stood outside the door for a long time, and he heard Claudia’s words, which instantly broke his heart.

He came late. If he hadn’t gone abroad to study and had come to find her earlier, Edmond wouldn’t have been able

to harm her for three

years.

“Horace…” Claudia smiled softly when she saw him, “Why are you here? Has the party started?”

Horace had told her that his grandmother wanted to see her.

Since her own grandmother passed away, she has had a sense of tolerance toward elderly people of her age.

“Well, Grandma is waiting for you downstairs,” Horace explained briefly, and Feng’s cold gaze glanced at Edmond,

“Mr. Lamont, what are you doing here too?”

Claudia thought he was worried about backing out of participating, and quickly said, “Don’t worry, what I promised

you won’t change.”

Horace’s eyes softened, “I know, let’s go downstairs first, Grandma will be worried later.”

Claudia nodded and quickly walked toward the door.

Horace took a few steps and turned to look at Edmond, saying, “Mr. Lamont, you were being annoying and

bothersome.”

Are you trying to confuse and disrupt?

Edmond stood with his hands in his pockets, standing straight. “Isn’t it you who was causing trouble?”

He walked up to Horace, glancing at him sideways, with a calm expression on his face. “I didn’t expect you to have

a liking for being a father.”

Horace’s face stiffened.

Before Edmond knew anything, he could still mock others to some extent, but now that everyone knows everything,

it’s as if they are extending their faces to be slapped hard by Edmond.

Even self–deception cannot change the fact that Claudia was pregnant with Edmond’s child.

Horace’s full lips were adorned with a faint smile, while his eyes were clear and pure.

“Being a father is not bad at all, what I like is her as a person.”

He was not a narrow–minded person, even if he raised someone else’s child, it was not something shameful.

He curved his lips into a smile, revealing a trustworthy expression on his face.

“Not afraid of raising other people’s children, what I fear is that, even though they are my own children, I can only

be called uncle.”

The irony in the words, both spoken and unspoken, left someone completely dumbfounded.

Edmond chuckled lightly, his indifferent voice sending a chilling sensation through the bones, with a hint of malice

flickering in his

eyes.

Uncle?

Very good.

Claudia went downstairs without looking back, unaware of the confrontation between the two men behind her.

Emily was downstairs when she saw Claudia coming downstairs. She approached her with a serious expression on

her face, wanting to say something but hesitated.]

Seeing her like this, Claudia suddenly had a bad premonition.

“What happened?”
